Tribute To Harry Horsman

The old oak tree.
So happy I wrote: Lovely!
“Let us hear the bluebell call,
the daffodil pray,
the apple blossom bear witness.”
I hip hip hurrah’d this paradigmatic poem.
I read it a few minutes ago and thought aww…
how do I comment now, so Harry will see.
So glad I had read this in the past,
before our dear Harry passed. Suddenly,
I hear one solitary and full-fledged chirp outside.
Has Harry stopped by?
Dabbing an eye.

Jim Slaughter June 20, 2023 at 12:51 PM A lovely idea, indeed, Kim, that Harry is still keeping tabs on this site and his poet friends here. Kim Rodrigues June 20, 2023 at 3:29 PM At least for a sec! I think when the moments are raw, perhaps God allows interaction, then they go on, perhaps checking with close ones sometimes. I guess we will find out one day. Thanks, Jim!
